The Turk and Islam in the Western Eye, 1450–1750: Visual Imagery before Orientalism - Transculturalisms, 1400-1700
James G. Harper
Probes the place that the Ottoman Turks occupied in the Western imaginaire, and the ways in which this occupation expressed itself in the visual arts. This title includes essays that reveal how anachronisms and inaccuracies mingled with careful detail to produce a 'Turk', a figure which became a presence to reckon with in painting, sculpture.
